Samuel Stewart had a grant of one hundred acres of land in Wells, York, Mass., (now Maine) in 1699.
Duncan Stewart, of Newbury, bought of Timothy Collins, of Newbury, in 1680, land formerly of Christopher Collins, his father, at Blue Point, Scarborough, near Wells.
Samuel Stewart was of Wells in 1716 as well as in 1726 along with his son Samuel Jr., the two of which were the only heads of family with the surname Stewart.
In 1728 he was made one of the trustees of the province loan to the town.
Samuel was a carpenter and a builder and had the contract for the parsonage at Wells in 1727. He was on the committee to supply preaching in the Wells church in 1728.
Regarding Samuels's mother, Ann/Hannah:
Ann's birth name was probably Hannah Winchester, but was changed to, or improperly recorded as Winechurst/Winecurst during her childhood, most likely after she was orphaned.
She and her three sisters were orphaned as young girls when both of the parents died of reasons unrecorded at the family home on the same day, 16 July, 1647.
Regarding Samuel's father, Duncan Stewart, who was born/baptized 23 Aug 1629 at Scotland:
The parents of Duncan were from and died at Glenagle, Scotland:
Father: Duncan 1595 - 1655
Mother: Helen Campbell 1605 - 1660
It is believed that Duncan Stewart was among the many Scottish prisoners taken captive after the Battle of Dunbar in 1650 by Oliver Cromwell.
It is also believed that he was selected to be sold into bondage in the New England states, eventually arriving at Ipswich, Massachusetts as an indentured servant to a George Hadley. Here he met his future wife who was in service to George Hadley, possibly as an indentured servant also, but possibly of her own free will.
In 1659, the couple moved to Newbury, MA, where they resided for 30 years on a farm on that part of the Dummer estate which became a portion of the Caldwell farm in the Byfield Parish and near the Rowley line.
In 1690, they moved to Rowley where Duncan is on the tax list of 1691 when he was assessed 2 pounds. By deed, dated 20 February 1698/9, ...Dunckin Steward of Rowley, planter... sold to Capt. Stephen Greenleaf of Newbury, MA, the rate lot and right in undivided lands in Newbury, MA, belonging to ...his son Charles Steward, late of Newbury, deceased.... Essex Deeds, 16:17.
Duncan Stewart was among those inhabitants of Rowley living northwest of Rye Plain bridge and Long Hill on 16 March 1702/3, whose minister's rates were abated.
On 17 March 1713/4, four sons of Duncan Stewart signed an agreement for the maintenance of their aged and honored parents, Duncan and Ann Stewart who had resided with their son, John, since 1707. Ann Stewart, ...tho't to be nearer a 100 yn 90 years... was admitted to the Rowley church on 17 September 1721.
No evidence has been found to show that Duncan Stewart or any of his sons ever engaged in shipbuilding or owned a shipyard, as stated in Gage's History of Rowley, p. 318.... G. B. Blodgette and Amos Jewett, ...Early Settlers of Rowley, Massachusetts,... p. 356.
Duncan and his wife Ann (Winchurst) Stewart had twelve children, the first two born in Ipswich, MA, the others born in Newbury, MA:
